What's a red team and what does it do?

[dvor]

A red team is an independent group that challenges an organization to improve its effectiveness.

When used in a hacking context, a red team is a group of white-hat hackers that attack an organization's digital infrastructure as an attacker would in order to test the organization's defenses

@isotoxin Are you sure?

Toktok has a plan and go step by step to the goal

[Renha]

ha, look, it's mr. @isotoxin aka 'Updated 21 days ago' by himself

No one bug was fixed last year.
No one optimization was done last year.
No one new feature was implemented last year.

Toxcore! Most stable code ever!

@isotoxin If you read toktok plan on toxcore (sorry for previous broken link. Updated now) there is no bugfixes. But, as it appears, you related with coding => you should understand, that tests, documentation, code cleanup and refactoring make notorious bugfixes easier in the future.

I'm going to attempt to slow this flamebate down a bit by locking to collaborators for now.

This is a meta issue and in no way the main problem. (I'm not sure why you think than @isotoxin unless you're just fusterated, which I can understand; Tox has been somewhat slow in the past) I created this issue in case someone else wants to take it on while I work on tox-named, as well as upgrading net_crypto code.

Once that's done I'll take another look at this myself, meanwhile I can't forget about it. The reason I opened this is because I'm planning to change how friends find each other, so we can drastically reduce data usage. While that's VERY important I also don't want to make tox less secure. Having a red team would be a step in the right direction to making AND KEEPING Tox secure.

No red team for now. We're about 5 people more or less actively working on the code these days. Let's reconsider at some point in the future when we have more resources.
